I have a 10 inch sanding disk that goes on my table saw. If there is no blade on the saw, then the sanding disk is on. It is much less expensive (and lighter) than a dedicated machine.

I agree, this is a wonderful way to do scarfs on cedar strips. The wood is so soft it is easily sanded into shape.
